Yes, our simple Partnership Foundation method works for all dogs and puppies of any age, breed/mix, history.
WHY? Because all dogs respond to being heard, understood, accepted, and feeling a sense of agency. All dogs learn to naturally cooperate through social learning. All dogs need to feel safe, secure, and to be connected to a clear, kind loving guide that they can trust to lead the way.
If you’re a dog mom who wants to start right with a trusting, cooperative relationship with your dog … so that you never have to face the reactive or anxious dog behavior spiral with your dog.
If you’re a dog mom already struggling to understand and change your dog’s behavior and ready to start over … with a breakthrough to a cooperative life that begins with building a new partnership foundation.
You’re in the right place!
It all starts here in the Brilliant Dog Foundation Builders, the foundation pillar of Kathy’s proven SYSTEM that continues in her Brilliant Partners Academy. It’s our partnership foundation that gives you the QUICK WINS you need right now … AND the foundation that prepares you to GROW your partnership into a brilliant life with your dog.

Empowering dog moms to master practical partnership skills that replace the need for behavior training, obedience, and micromanaging – while preventing (or resolving) reactivity and anxiety … renewing dreams for a life of fun and freedom with dogs.
Where behavior training fails, our holistic approach succeeds in healing your relationship with your dog for a life of trust, connection and cooperation.
The key is to stop chasing reactivity fixes with ineffective dog behavior training that ignores root causes and further damages our relationship with our dogs. To do that, we need to shift our mindset and retrain our brain while learning new skills that will break us out of spiraling in reactivity with our dogs, for good.
RRI is Kathy’s most hands-on coaching program, with the intensive support, learning, and personal coaching you need to start a new path toward your dream life with your dog. 🐾
I’ll give you all the tools you need for success in sharing the Dancing Hearts Partnership Method and become a certified Partnership Coach … whether you’re launching a new career, growing your existing dog training business, or adding partnership training to your holistic practice.
